Creative Photo Imaging Club crowned as IPF Club Champions 2015 with stunning imagery

May 17, 2015 by Niamh Whitty Leave a Comment

Congratulations go to Creative Photo Imaging Club who claimed the title of overall winners of this year’s IPF National Club Championships. The newly commissioned Sean Casey Memorial Trophy which replaces the Rose Bowl goes home with them to Northern Ireland for the coming year.  They narrowly pipped Drogheda Photographic Club into second place and Dundalk Photographic Society took third place.

For the individual awards, congratulations to Frank Condra from Drogheda Photographic Club who won best monochrome print and Damien O’Malley from Dundalk Photographic Society who won best colour print.

This year 23 clubs competed for the top prize and with standards rising year on year, it proved another fierce battle with many outstanding images on display. Congratulations to every photographer who was represented on their club’s panel – given the standard of club photography in Ireland at the moment, that is in itself a fine achievement and we look forward to seeing more outstanding images next year.

Thank you to Competition Co-Ordinator Darragh Sherwin for all his hard work organising the event. Thanks also to all those who assisted him, including members of Mullingar Camera Club.

We also say a sincere thank you to our three judges:

  • Jacky Martin MFIAP, HonEFIAP FIAP Vice-President, Director of World Cup Service
  • Chris Palmer FRPS EFIAP DPAGB APAGB
  • Margaret Salisbury FRPS, FIPF, MFIAP, APAGB.

Final thanks to Westmeath County Council for once again allowing us to use their beautiful venue – The Council Buildings.
